In this short movie, a white male soldier and a woman dressed according to the rule of some Muslim countries are put face to face in a confined space. The intention is to encapsulate the dehumanization of war and its effects on moral and behavior. It tries to evoke the atmosphere of tension encountered in any Middle-Eastern region invaded by Western countries. Common themes from this type of environment are seen, as he attempts to rape her and she explodes a bomb to kill them both. By making him speak French, the short movie smartly dodges from becoming an open criticism to the US, due to the soldier's clear abusive and disturbed behavior (having in mind the US international state of affairs for the past few decades).
